The circle is so much more than a simple geometric shape. It is a powerful symbol that reaches across cultures and time. Circles Around the World and Throughout Time will lead students through an exploration of the meaning of this omnipresent symbol and investigations into the elements and principles of design, geometry, psychology, and other cultures. They will practice and apply a variety of art techniques, create presentations for appropriate audiences using available technology and produce original pieces of art while developing a sense of community and collaboration. The curriculum framing question would be “How are the arts throughout history a record of human experience with a past, present, and future?” The main unit question will be "What is the significance of the circle in different cultures and time periods?”
